My recent visit to Germany to train with Jurgen Koschel was a really postive time for me and my horses particularly my young horse Domino D, both of us gained invaluable experience for the future. Mr Koschel really endorsed Domino and helped me enormously with his training. At the end of the trip Mr Koschel gave me an open invitation to train with him again in the future.

I received a really warm welcome from all the Koschels and was able to watch both Mr Koschel and his son Christoph tain some of their impressive horses and was lucky enough to ride some of them too.

I travelled with the Koschels to Paderbourne where I was able to watch some of Germany's top riders in competition.

Whilst I was in Hagen I made some good friends and conacts for the future including Australian Maree Tompkinson who is training with the Koschels in preparation for Beijing.
